Javascript:history.back is not working in XUL application

I have created a XUL application, it has got a link for navigating to previous page. This is my link <a href="javascript:history.back();">Back</a>, unfortunately it is not working!!!

In firefox is working as expected, when I run it in XUL it is not working.

Why is it not working?

Solution

  • I'm no XUL expert, so I don't know why that didn't work, but I think what you're looking for is:

    browser.goBack();
